Nestled in the outcroppings of Joshua Tree’s ancient rock formations, the Invisible House — as many have come to call it — resembles a New York City skyscraper transported to the desert and turned on its side. The home is a masterclass in minimalism. Covered with floor-to-ceiling mirrored windows, its design is an absence of design, reflecting a stunning panoramic view of the 90 private acres of Joshua Trees it rests upon. The Invisible House was designed by film producer Chris Hanley, best known for producing indie films such American Psycho and The Virgin Suicides.
Today, the home is available for short-term rentals on Airbnb. In addition to its stunning impenetrable, reflective design, the Invisible House also boasts a gigantic 100-foot indoor swimming pool and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors courtesy of Monumental Windows and Doors. Our sliding doors provide a seamless, fluid transition from comfort to nature in this truly environment-blending space.
Installing Doors in the Home with a Million Views
As one of Southern California’s leading windows and doors manufacturers, we aim to provide customers with highly functional, efficient products while enhancing homes with stunningly-crafted designs. The Invisible House’s completely transparent design offers a unique view by the hour, each and every day. Providing functional, secure doors that don’t compromise this home’s most captivating feature would prove a challenge for other door manufacturers. Fortunately, Monumental Windows and Doors specializes in sliding glass doors with low-profile frames, which allow full and unobstructed views of the desert mountains. Our glass panels are designed to accommodate a wide range of spaces. We’re able to produce panels up to 8 feet wide and 12 feet tall.
Sitting hidden in the desolate, rocky desert of Joshua Tree National Park, the Invisible House endures some extreme weather conditions throughout the year. Whether it’s the high, dry temperatures of the summer or cold nights of winter, maintaining a comfortable temperature in a glass home is no easy feat. Considering this home’s unique needs, Monumental Windows and Doors was brought in because of our reputation for durable, eco-friendly designs. Monumental’s sliding glass doors are made with long-lasting, thermally broken aluminum frames. Combined with multi-pane, Low-E coated glass, our glass doors insulate and protect homes from the harshest weather conditions of any environment.
